gazoombo: diso-actionstrem does it "backwards" (pulling in your last.fm data). For a scrobbling server, you could look at libre.fm. The scrobbling protocol is actually pretty simple

singpolyma: I thought that libre.fm was what I needed, but their homepage threw me off with too much emphasis on indie artists and downloads - second guessed myself. Thanks for setting me straight.

:) libre.fm isn't designed for the indieweb per-se. It's more like the StatusNet to last.fm's Twitter, but it's got source you can look at, and a community that would probably be interested

I was fairly certain that the Digg Button (was called a blog widget back then) was the first actual cross-site Web *Action* (did something beyond just a navigational hyperlink) - 2006-02-15 according to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Digg#Timeline

but then I dug up evidence that various online feed reader "Subscribe" web actions likely predated the Digg button
